The biggest F1 race of all-time, by attendance alone - 175,000 in the house at Silverstone for the 2026 British Grand Prix, and for the first time in over 600 days, Charles Leclerc is back in the win column. But it was a rocky road to get there.
The weekend looked like it was going to be a fight between Kimi Antonelli and Lewis Hamilton after the latter took Sprint Pole, and Kimi won said Sprint late on while draining Lewis' battery. But Leclerc was stronger on Sunday with a strong defensive drive. But Kimi Antonelli showed outrageous pace while going long on his medium tyres, gaining a 10-lap tyre delta and a 1.5 second pace advantage... until a broken wheel shield while driving over the kerb at Copse ruined his day.
To compound his misery, we had a late Safety Car drop him out of the points due to a track limits penalty, and a SC that took a rather long time to be cleared after Max Verstappen's rear wing failed to close properly, putting the Dutchman into the wall at Stowe. It's led to a mass debate about Safety Car procedures and the classic battle between sports and entertainment. Should we be red flagging races late? Is there something wrong with the process?
All that and more in another Motorsport101!

Ai Ogura is no longer a surprise. After 22 years of waiting, we have a Japanese winner in MotoGP again, and he did it in stunning style. 
We've joked for a while that Ogura has a knack for having brilliant late-race pace, and the Dutch Grand Prix at Assen was no exception. In a weekend dominated by Aprilia, Ogura surged past Jorge Martin and Raul Fernandez at the half-way mark and was completely untouchable after that. 
But it also a weekend that was yet more trouble for now ex-Championship leader Marco Bezzecchi. A crash at 125mph going through Ramshoek now drops him behind Jorge Martin in the points, Diggia's now only -16, Ogura -25 , and Marc Marquez loses no ground at -40. In fact, the Top 8 in the standings are covered by 63 points. Do we have one of the great Championship battles brewing?
Also on this episode, more talk on the silly season as Pecco Bagnaia moves to Aprilia, and Ai Ogura and Jorge Martin's moves to Yamaha are confirmed. All that and even more on another Motorsport101!

Welcome back to the winner's circle, George Russell. Can you believe it's his first victory since opening day? 
Dre Harrison and Cam Buckley are back to review the Austrian Grand Prix, despite it's arguably most controversial moment being before the race even started. Saturday's qualifying comes under scrutiny after Max Verstappen crashes late on with a defective rear wing, and only a single-yellow flag dropping over the incident, not a double-waved yellow until after Russell had set his lap time. Genius driving from Russell, more incompetence from Race Control, or both?
And with the race itself, a surprise return to form for Max Verstappen, who turned a great fight with a tyre-struggling Lewis Hamilton to be in the fight for the winning, finishing less than two seconds behind Russell's winning car. Is Red Bull back in play for winning contention? There's also rumblings over Kimi Antonelli, who blew a good chance to win with early braking issues. 
And what of Ferrari? Both drivers had to work three-stop strategies, but this time it was over bad tyre wear, rather than excessive pace. Is the honeymoon over for the prancing horse? All that and more on another Motorsport101!

So of course, Christian Lundgaard losing his front wing on the opening lap wouldn't lead to ANYTHING, right?
Dre and Cam review what was an absolutely berserk Road America GP with cheese curds, brats, and Christian Lundgaard going to the back of the field, then coming back to win the race via a 4-stop strategy and some really fortunate cautions. 
But it was a race of heartbreak due to Alex Palou making a rare mistake via speeding in the pitlane and being bailed out by Christian Rasmussen suffering an electrical failure in his car, and Marcus Armstrong having his strongest IndyCar race to date. He was just 4 laps from glory until his engine packed up and ended his day. We also talk Felix Rosenqvist being in the mix on and off the track as rumours swirl he may be heading back to McLaren for 2027.
There's a deep dive on silly season in general, IndyCar's hybrids taking a step back and David Malukas finishing second AGAIN on another Motorsport101!

The biggest flashpoint of the 2026 MotoGP season so far and Dre Harrison and Cam Buckley review it all on the latest episode of Motorsport101, as Marco Bezzecchi got himself banned from the Czech Grand Prix at Brno for double slapping a marshal.
Dre and Cam recollect the incident as well as talk about why even a race ban might not have been harsh enough, why we need to be careful in making sweeping statements about Bezzecchi's character and why it shouldn't be applied to the incident itself, and the ramifications in terms of a title race where Marc Marquez has taken 62 points out of Bez since Mugello.
Speaking of which, he dug deep to win a race he wasn't supposed to win. He sat back and let teammate Pecco Bagnaia take the early lead, only for Marc to pass him with 5 laps to go, then hold off the incredibly fast Ai Ogura on used rubber to get the win, and with it, Marquez is in sight of the Championship lead, just 40 points behind Bezzecchi. Is this back on? 
That and more talk about MotoGP's new commercial deal and upcoming holeshot device ban, in the latest M101 episode!
